Summary:

Proposal for a Council Implementing Decision - tabled by the European Commission on 01 July 2021 - concerning the endorsement of an assessment to Slovenia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP).

Further information:

National Recovery and Resilience Plans are prepared by the Member States of the European Union (EU) and comprise a package of reforms and investment initiatives to be implemented by 2026 and supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). These plans are assessed by the European Commission and approved by the Council of the European Union. The assessment is based on criteria set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/241 - also known as the RRF Regulation.

A positive assessment of the Slovenian NRRP was adopted by the Commission on 1 July 2021. It recommends that the Council endorses the disbursement of €1.8 billion in grants and €705 million in loans under the RRF over the period 2021-2026. The Commission's analysis considered, in particular, whether the investments and reforms contained in Slovenia's plan support the green and digital transitions; contribute to effectively addressing challenges identified in the European Semester; and strengthen its growth potential, job creation and economic and social resilience.
